They’re fighting back against a shitty move. Publishers need to know which lines to cross and which not to. Would you have wanted EA to have had no push-back from turning Battlefront 2 into a Pay-to-Win game with lootboxes? The majority of gamers didn’t want their product to be that way so they pushed back. Read more

“passing the savings on to YOU” ehhhhhh for now. Its most likely just grow their install base.

The thing I hate about Scrabble is how goddamn personal it gets for some people. It's just a game about spelling, ffs. I'd you lose, it doesn't mean I'm more intelligent than you, so stop fucking pouting. Also, if you win, it does not mean you're an undiscovered genius. Why is this game like this?

If Scrabble entertains you, I am intrigued by what else you consider entertaining. Watching chess? Digging a hole, then filling it up again? By a wide, wide margin the most overrated board “game” (it’s a goddamn spelling bee mixed with the unharnessed excitement of a crossword puzzle) of all time. Scrabble is trash.

A crime for no Scythe. or Photosynthesis, or Bang! The Dice Game (gets played too often among my friends).

I would strongly recommend removing the Widow’s Walk expansion from the recommendation of Betrayal at House on the Hill. My gaming group played the former countless times, bought the expansion, and after two games, shuffled it back out and threw it away. Read more

No consideration for Stephen Lang?

I don’t know personally I would rather see Stephen Lang as Cable.

While I’m no casting director, I can’t help but instinctually think he’s a terrible pick.
Now, I could be wrong - and if he is cast, I hope I am - but I’ve never been a big fan of his work, and with as much will be tied to Cable in upcoming X-stuff, I just don’t know how much Shannon-izing I want of Deadpool/X-Force,… Read more

I realize Stephen Lang and J.K. Simmons aren’t tall enough, but the fanboy in me really likes the thought of those two. I’m just going to throw out Dwayne Johnson realizing it will bring an avalanche of ridicule. I only suggest him because he would easily outsize Reynolds and can easily pull off the machismo that is… Read more

That same thought crossed my mind. She looks like Emo-Tep.

Nothing will ever beat the chemistry between Fraser and Weisz in the original two Mummies (so glad they never made a third), but I’ll check this out. Maybe it won’t suck!

Netflix*’s runaway hit Stranger Things† did a lot of things right, and chief among them: antagonizing the US‡ Department of Energy**. Read more

I liked Barb’s character a lot. She is the geeky friend that gets left behind as the more “Marketable” friend moves up the social click ladder. This happened to pretty much every geek growing up and moving from middle school to high school. With that in mind I can completely understand why people liked her so much,… Read more

I’m not entirely sure. Though, I guess, I wouldn’t oppose a ruling of this being a case of semantics and/or interpretation. At any rate, in most cases, I do defer to Merriam-Webster as well for my definition needs. This is what it states (just so we’re clear):

I feel I must politely disagree. I see prequels and sequels as requiring a direct built up to, or consequence of, the events taking place in the original work. Otherwise, at least in my opinion, they’re just stories in the same universe. Granted, there’s probably not many examples of this, though I do believe… Read more

That’s part of why she’s so great! GoT has always been about manipulation and subterfuge and she’s the complete antithesis of that because she was raised with honor, who still believes in it like a little kid. So the old guys had pragmatic reasons that weren’t exactly wrong but she was all, nope.

That's a new superhero group right there.
